WELCOME
The early years of our festival captured an ethos. Back then, we felt the
expressions of our cultures could be deeper than the shallowness that
our nation’s celebrations and festivals portrayed. As organisers, we really
didn’t know what we were doing but took risks and went exploring ... at
times with both feet in the dark. It felt like we were chipping away at a
rough piece of granite in search of the beautiful sculpture that had always
existed within. While our festival has grown and changed dramatically, that
underpinning ethos has strengthened. Still, our exploration continues.
While we’ve had to learn systems management, logistics, marketing
and money handling skills, what emerged in the early days was that we
felt our ethos contributed to the folk movement we served. If we could
give our festival a depth, expose just a portion of that sculpture, then
our patrons could jump on board, then we’d somehow succeed.
We’ve tried to define our work not by what we can’t do and whom we
excluded, but rather what we could do and whom we could embrace.
We couldn’t cherry pick our humanity. To explore our celebrations and
express that humanity would require kindness and tolerance, and the first
exercise in this task was to apply that kind of compassion to ourselves.
There have been many errors. Our flaws surfaced, so we learned to rely
on our fellow organisers’ strengths. We discovered that our weaknesses
could become assets, because they were an opportunity to seek advice,
to involve and empower people beside us. Our talented artists and
knowledge-seeking presenters became collaborators. Along the way,
you, our wonderful patrons, became allies. It seems that now, we’re
all chipping away at that piece of granite. That you have jumped on
board has been our victory - and our victory is your victory. It feels
powerful; everyone in the same boat rowing in the same direction.
Our contributions were rewarded. We’ve all become owners, and our shared
ethos makes us better people and makes for a festival that’s becoming
an organic factory for making lives more worth living. The prize is not
just a pretty place, but a cooperative state of joyous mindful being.
It’s on behalf of the organisers, old and new, our committee
and staff, artists and presenters, the wonderful volunteers, the
merchants, the cooks, the sponsors and contractors - contributors
all, that I welcome you to our Woodford Folk Festival, our 32nd in
all and the 25th at Woodfordia. Bring your sculpting tools.
